-J, I THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. BTRTFORP. K. O. FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1960 PAGE NINH su;;day school -1 IJES30t . s HOSEA REVEALS GOD'S FORGIVING LOVE International Sunday School Lesson for Mar 14, 1950 Memory 'Selection: "I will heal 'their backsliding, I will love them freely."-HKoaea 14: 4. Lesson Text t Hosea 11: 1-4, 8-11 ; 14:4-9. As our lesson for last week brought out, Hosea "Was a native of the North- ' era Kingdom, Israel, the only one of ". the prophetical writers from that sec tion. Whale the Prophet Amos used the figures jai the shepherd, Hosea used those of agricultural life. Amos looked upon the evidence of Jehovah's might and justice; Hosea upon fertile . fields and tree-clad hills, which spoke - to him of Jehovah's love and his gracious provision for his people's needs. As pointed out last week, Hosea's message was inspired by bis own personal tragedy. "The first division of the Book narrates this sad experience, and il lustrates one social ideal of Hosea, his conception of e sanctity of the mar 'i riage relation," says President Wil liam Bennett Bizzell. "We are told that lie was married to a young woman by the name' of Corner, the daughter of a certain Di Iblain. He" probably procured his wife - by purchase which was in conformity ' to established custom. It is not im probable that the young wife possess ed H the Attributes that a high-tmind-ed young man would expect to find in the woman of his choice. But Hosea bad not yet measured the seductive charm and the licentious practices that -had gained headway in the re ligious ceremonies of the ' day, and he Uttte dreamed how these rites were to fascinate his wife, and cause-Aer to neglect her home and forget the obligations of her domestic ties." "The wife ? abandoned her home. Her descent to degeneration and in ' famy was rapid,! continues President Bizzell. "Her complete humiliation finally came she was- to be sold to ' ' the slave market. While she had sac- ' rificed all right to. his protection, still this man could not forget that she was his wife, and he went into "the slave market and bought back this woman for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley. In.de- fiance of established custom and pub lic opinion; he restored her to his home and placed her under hU loving protection." Hosea was the prophet of salvatn. . He indorsed the protest of his prede cessor, Amos, against mere formality in religion and one of his verses has been described aR the greatest utter- ' ance of the Old Testament, namely, .'I desire goodness and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." - Concerning the Book of Ho3ea, Dr. George I Petrde says, "Many of the more familiar verses of the Bible, verses that are like household words, mintix) and well known, are mMia tram the charming gar j iinoaai Vat. Hosea. aa.a dook UCll W. Avovr . : twrtinma. one of the least read of ail ' the Bible Books. Hosea's pages are not among the cleanest, and Hoseas th least worn with " "thumbing of them all." For this there is a reason. HoBea is pernapa iw , -.f nv nf aXl the Bible Books." .. - , i s Notwithstanding - Hosea'a condem . .t tVio aina n? Tsrael. he nreach , cs divine mercy. "For I "am God and : not man, and I will not come m " - wrath." And this golden close of the ' denunciations, this pointing to the resplendent arc of the rainbow of : ; . mM flte Hurlrftsrt. bursts of f iiwivjr " - t 4Via mm, marked cnarac mnM t nf WoSfift only, but Of J06I, Isaiah, Micah, and, all the greatest-of the true prophets."

It mirrors the mystery and glory of life, the hopes and faith and dreams of parenthood. It suffuses her face with the joy of possession and the conscious ness of being part of the great unbroken chain of human existence. All true parents want their children to make the best of life; to avoid its pitfalls, to master its obstacles, to achieve its successes. They want them te be good citisens and just and honorable men and women. The little baby boy in the picture will be reared with the tenderest care, and will be taught knowledges and skills as he grows in years and in understanding. ' But the great truths of religion and spiritual living must be made the groundwork of his training if he is to attain life's highest possibilities. So this beautiful mother must turn to God and the Church and the Scriptures, for guidance in training her child to live. THE CHURCH FOR art Alt FOB THE CHURCH I. .... i. v. "nwithlp.
